About Us ~ Meet The Owners Of Camden Harbour Inn & Natalie's Restaurant

For over a hundred years, the Camden Harbour Inn has sat atop a hill overlooking picturesque Camden, Maine. The Inn has been a destination for travelers since the late 1800s, when summer guests arrived by steamship to enjoy the invigorating sea air, unspoiled surroundings, and breathtaking views, encompassing the village, harbor, and mountains.

Dutch owners Raymond Brunyanszki and Oscar Verest juxtaposed this storied history with a lively atmosphere, contemporary European elegance, and odes to their home country. They've created an intimate oasis of luxury and perfection set in the natural beauty of New England, and invite you to join them.
